Description

The logistics:
I used a Byzantine weave with beads connecting the links.

20ga 1/8” make up the links, and not very well I should say. This was my first attempt at byz. Not bad but the links don’t sit right. I assume it is an AR issue. I also used opal Swarovski crystals. All of it is bright aluminum. The closure (not pictured) is a lobster claw closure and earrings are fish hooks.
